JFK-CAI-DAM will be the MS rules.
Agree that the BD advice is a bit
.
However, if the OP's profile is correct (CO PE), then this award ticket should still allow the non-elite to utilize the elite baggage allowance. Hence, EWR-CLE and CLE-LGA will permit 3 x 70 lb.
Unless CO's fixed this in the last month or so..
